Jasper John Dooley: Star of the Week
Jasper John Dooley: Star of the Week by Caroline Adderson My rating: 2 of 5 stars This is a cute book, and if I was still in elementary school, I would love it.

Wrath of the Dragon King
Wrath of the Dragon King by Brandon Mull My rating: 3 of 5 stars This series is messing with me. I keep thinking I know what side characters are on, and then BAM, totally different.
